Netherlands: Pilings for world's largest offshore windmill park ///

By order of Elsam, the largest energy supplier in Denmark, MT-Hojgaard, a Danish contractor, placed the foundation piles for the Hornsrev offshore windmill park last summer. For this unique pile work, they opted for an IHC Hydrohammer (IHC) type S-600, together with an IHC pile handling tool. Europe kept a close watch on the construction of the largest windmill park in open sea. In four months time, 80 steel piles, with up to 4-m diameters and lengths of 30 m, were driven 25 m into the seabed.
